Surely some VirusDef screw up. SAV 10 with latest updates didn't pick anything up. :)

I can confirm that with the latest virus definition files, Clamwin is no longer reporting a virus.

Neither Norton nor McAfee are reporting any virus in the official download on my machines.

I'm sure both Norton and McAfee would have reported false positives for NSIS installers at some stage. Think pretty much every AV has.
